Online ride hailing motorcycles have become a new favorite, and safety and regulation cannot be left behind
2025-05-07
Recently, multiple "ride hailing motorcycle" platforms have been launched. Some drivers have expressed that since it has just been launched and there are not many orders, the platform will provide safety training. The platform stated that compared to qualification issues, the greater challenge lies in security, so a lot of effort has been put into this area. The "ride hailing motorcycle" has enriched people's travel choices and is in line with the public's pursuit of convenient travel in the fast-paced lifestyle. In congested big cities, motorcycles, with their small and flexible advantages, significantly reduce travel time. For short distance travel, the price advantage of "ride hailing motorcycles" is even more significant. In some regions, the starting price is only five or six yuan, which is highly attractive to consumers who value cost-effectiveness. In areas with weak public transportation coverage, "ride hailing motorcycles" have filled the travel gap and met the travel needs of residents. However, behind the rapid layout of "ride hailing motorcycles", many hidden dangers have also been exposed. Firstly, there is a safety issue. Without effective protection during motorcycle operation, both drivers and passengers face a high risk of injury. Secondly, there is also the issue of routes. It is unknown whether the driver can follow the system set route and how to ensure compliance with traffic rules. In addition, unclear operational qualifications also seriously constrain the development of the industry. In the past, many small and medium-sized cities had a large number of "motorcycle" employment groups, most of whom were scattered workers with no fixed operating hours and almost no industry regulation. When "ride hailing motorcycles" became a new employment direction, their driving and operating qualifications needed to be further controlled. Especially, many regions currently have unclear regulations regarding the legality of motorcycle passenger transportation, resulting in "online ride hailing motorcycles" being in a regulatory "gray area". The lack of unified standards in driver qualification review, vehicle insurance, and other aspects greatly increases the difficulty of supervision. Faced with these challenges, relevant parties should promptly explore solutions. Functional departments should accelerate the improvement of relevant laws and regulations, clarify the operating qualifications and regulatory rules for "ride hailing motorcycles", strengthen driver qualification review and training, enhance their safety awareness and service capabilities, and urge platforms to purchase sufficient insurance for vehicles to effectively protect the legal rights and interests of passengers. The platform itself should also shoulder its social responsibility, using technological means to monitor the speed and driving route in real time, ensuring that drivers drive in accordance with regulations. The "ride hailing motorcycle" has injected new vitality into the travel market and brought more travel options to the public. But to achieve healthy and sustainable development, it is essential for all parties to work together. Only on the basis of ensuring safety and regulating operation, can "ride hailing motorcycles" truly become a powerful assistant for convenient travel, rather than a worrying regulatory problem.
